Perhaps the best way to get to Newark
Liberty International Airport from New
York City is to take a NJ
Transit or Amtraktrain from
Penn Station to
the Newark Liberty
International Airport train station,
then switch to the Newark AirTrain to
reach the airport terminals.

NJ Transit trains on the
Northeast Corridor Line and the North Jersey
Coast Line depart
New York City's Penn
Station from 4:20 am
until 1:41 am on weekdays. (In other words,
they reun all the time except the middle
of the night.

Departures are every few minutes
during rush hours, generally every 15 to
25 minutes at other times. The trip is scheduled
to take about 25 minutes. An adult one-way
ticket costs $15.

About nine Amtrak trains a
day depart Penn
Station and stop at Newark
Airport, taking about
the same amount of time to make the trip.
A one-way ticket on an Amtrak Regional train
costs about $37, so it's usually cheaper,
easier and quicker to take a NJ Transit train.

The AirTrain station at
Newark Airport can be entered only
on a NJ Transit or
Amtrak train.
You cannot walk or drive to
the station and enter it.

Once you're in the AirTrain station you
can board an AirTrain to take you directly
to all the airport terminals.

To travel from Newark Airport to New
York City, take an AirTrain to the Newark Airport
train station, then a NJ Transit or Amtrak
train into the city at Penn Station.
